"Veteran underground 'cult' band indiscriminately shooting Punk Rock n' Roll ammo using Psychobilly hardware. Punk for Rockabillies, Rockabilly for Punks"

Whilst The Hangmen were recording their ninth album 'Debauchery In The Mortuary', vinyl reissues of two previous albums sold out in weeks. Their last studio album rocketed straight to number 4 in the worldwide Psychobilly charts on release, now the anticipation for its' follow up is over with a string of great reviews and fervent airplay. The Hangmen write all of their own material and nail it to a sound that is strikingly raw - one guitar, a double bass and drums topped off with a blood curdling vocal. No effects boards, no enhancements, just savage unique rock & roll from the dark side played loud and sweaty through gritted teeth. Described as an explosive, exhilarating live act with a track record spanning the USA, Canada, Europe, Russia and not least their native UK many times over, they've straddled many ‘Psychobilly’ and ‘Punk’ circuits in their time whilst regularly venturing into unchartered domains for new blood. A trail of sweaty rock dives, a loyal fanbase and a discography hosted by a list of international independent record labels lay in their wake.

2024 begins with The Hangmen headlining Newcastle's Anarchist-Punk Extravaganza as well as The Roker Punk Festival, and also at rising venue NE Volume by return invitation after a recent appearance...whilst the band also prepare new material in the background - including a collaboration with Ken Fox's renowned 'Wall Of Death' troupe to offer a signature tune for their jaw dropping Motorcycle spectacle.

"The Hangmen occupy a strange, dark space. Imagine if The Damned and The Cramps met with Johnny Cash and Alice Cooper to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show on a bottle of night nurse each. The Hangmen would be the band playing in the bar afterwards - Math Priest, Rhythm Magazine"

"A footstomping beer swilling riot live" - Kerrang!

"For anyone that's absorbed Psychobilly for decades this is for you, the extracted and distilled essence of the genre" - Simon Nott, UK Rock & Roll Magazine.

• Whilst The Hangmen's latest album has been acclaimed around the globe, iTunes demanded the artwork be tempered down and a UK pressing plant refused to press it outright over lyric booklet concerns (eventually pressed in the Netherlands).

• The Hangmen are the only British Psychobilly band to play the legendary New York Punk venue CBGBs…and tour Canada coast to coast (attracting the national music press accolade of ‘Live Pick Of The Week’).

• A vinyl re-release of an early album sold out of one pressing in weeks, twenty five years after the original release!

• Mad Music For Bad People Magazine has ran an eight page colour feature which compliments a press scrapbook in several languages and not least many dedicated pages in the definitive book on 'Psychobilly' Hell's Bent On Rockin' by Craig Brackenridge. The Hangmen's infamy is to be cemented in two more books in the near future.
